These broadband plans would be offered under existing adsl2+ copper infrastructure. Bsnl is facing constant competition from Jio 4G where many users have downgraded their broadband plans to lowest possible as Jio unlimited 4G sim is sufficient for data needs.

Further in cities and small downs provider like cable/lan based pole to pole wired internet provider are mushrooming fast. Finally Jio is reported to be testing Jio Fiber(urban) and Jiolink(rural – 4G based unlimited fixed broadband service) which is expected to be launched all over India in 2017.
